Windows Installer should allow directory choice

I was playing with GIMP 2.7 so have GIMP installed in several different, non-default, directories. The installer doesn't allow choice of where to install to so after install, I had to copy files from the GIMP-2.0 default directory to where the current version of GIMP was installed.

Minor problem but should be simple to fix..

As explained in the installation instructions, the Windows exe's are not true installers, they're just self-extracting zip files. Thus, in the case you want to install in a non-standard location, all you need to do is open the "installer" with an archive extractor, like e.g. 7zip, and extract the files in the desired folder.
